William George Ditchfield (21 May 1903 – 21 March 1991) was a New Zealand musician and cricketer. He played one first-class cricket match for Otago in 1933/34. Ditchfield was born at Sydney in Australia in 1903. He worked as a window dresser and was a founder member of a "pioneering" New Zealand country and western band The Tumbleweeds in 1949, playing double bass, harmonica and banjo. He had previously played in The Hawaiian Serenaders and was inspired to form The Tumbleweeds after hearing Myra Hewitt sing Maple On The Hill, the song which became the groups best selling single with over 80,000 copies sold. The band were inducted into the New Zealand Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988, and hand impressions in cement were added to Gore's Gold Guitar Awards "Hands of Fame" walk in 1991.
